Guy's a dick. He should be prosecuted as fully as possible under the law. However, it may not have gone massive because no one died. Shootings are too common in the US for each one to get its own thread. There'd be no space for anything else.
True. I have a feeling the security guard saved a lot of people from getting a bullet & a bag of Chick fil a.

Joint statement from LGBT organizations on FRC shooting.
Also Greta Christina, Jen McCreight, Ed Brayton and that's where I stopped looking because I was getting sick of typing the link code.
So, you know, what they said.

Yeah I see what they said. Unfortunately many in the OTD see people who support traditional marriage as hateful.

No, we see discrimination against same sex couples as discrimination, and have little opinion on traditional marriage beyond the fact that it is, indeed, both traditional and marriage.

Seeing something as hateful is worlds apart from "therefore we should go murdering people who do it".

I personally don't see supporters of "traditional" marriage as hateful. Outdated, out of touch with the history of marriage and grounded in a religious meaning that happens to only apply to their religion and which just happens to also agree with their own personal opinion of LGBT people, yes. Hateful, not necessarily.
Spreading falsehoods and lies about LGBT people, like the Family Research Council does, that's hateful, however.
Wow, another nut job. They must be breeding or something.

Pish, it's coming up on election time, so the media coverage has put all the eggs in an incubator.
Nah the nut jobs are the ones who intimidate others and call them bigots if they hold a different opinion on a "public policy issue".
I've seen my fair share of posters freely and carelessly toss around bigot and hater.

Inciting violence in nutjobs
Having watched the entire video, which includes like one reference to violence that's clearly ridiculously tongue-in-cheek (presented in the same tone as "spread this like herpes" and in the context of self-defense at that) by or in defense of gay people and lots of references, which I guess you missed, to actual violence against gay people, I don't know that I believe you actually watched it.
But I shall charitably assume you meant this: "selling shirts to fundraise for suicide prevention" and simply spelled it "inciting violence in nutjobs" for reasons known only to yourself.

I don't know where you get the "Inciting violence in nutjobs" from this video?Or do you think that speaking up for themselves and promoting awareness about a very real and very serious problem is "inciting violence?"

See, and I thought this was going to be an olive branch thread, where you point out how someone attacked a conservative organization this week, we all denounce his actions and call him nasty names, and then laugh about it over a beer.
And then you call the rest of us names for defending civil rights.
Why are you trying to incite a flame war? What that guy did is something we can all agree is wrong.
...I like olives. :)

I only like the green olives. Does that make me a bigot?...I like olives. :)Not me...pick 'em right off pizzas.
Of course you're not a bigot, cuz I agree with you.
Green olives are simply superior.

So long as everyone's busy vomiting, I might as well finish the pizza, right? Wouldn't want it to go to waste!

Olice supremacists! Next you'll be saying that manzanilla olives should be eliminated to allow picholine olives to have their moment in the sun. Heartless bastards!

*scrubs mouth with back of his hand*Have at it Mr. Bullet.
I'm a kalamata fan myself.
Mmmmm...
That does sound good. I like bleu cheese a lot as well, above the protests of my friends and family; no one else I know seems to like it.
Uno's Pizzeria (a pizza chain) used to have something they called "Tuscany Bread" which was like a flatbread pizza with kalamatas, feta cheese, tomatoes and basil. It was sooo good. And it was so popular that...they discontinued it :-/

I'm pretty sure that the label of bigot is not applied to people who just disagree about "policy issues". People are getting called bigots because they are advocating discrimination against a group of people, in this case gay people.
When someone says that someone else is an "abomination" and that their advocating for their rights is "pushing a radical adjgenda", and encourages violence and bullying against them damn streight I'm going to call that person a bigot because they are.
Crying "we only disagree" and "freedom of concience" drives me up the wall because it is, essentially, a lie and you guys know it.
I'm pretty sure that belongs in a thread about alignment, TOZ. >.>

Did you just manage to sarcastically godwin a thread that had devolved into discussion of olives?!
/bow
Actually, I tried manzanilla olives stuffed with bleu cheese about a year ago ... holy crap those were tasty .. .and it is now a toss up between those and kalamatas any time I get a hankering for olives.
I just tried some microwave blackened chicken & pasta in alfredo sauce that I bought on a whim. I've occasionally had blackened chicken in my alfredo before, but apparently the place where I got it that way was pretty mild with it. Feeling a bit sick now.

Yummy.
Interesting wikipedia page that I thought of while reading about the shooting.
EDIT: Upon further reflection, I should say that I am not suggesting that the FRC are the same as the Nazis.
I like both black and green olives.
EDIT: Upon further reflection, I should say that I am not suggesting that the FRC are the same as the Nazis.I think the real question is: are you comparing the gay rights movement to the KPD? I always suspected Comintern was behind it...
I've never heard that. The wikipedia page had something about some Stalinist leader talking to the lawyer. I don't remember who at the moment.
Actually, I found the page pretty informative. I never realized that the homosexual love angle was invented by the defense attorney.
Less on-topic than I had thought, but, whatevs, still interesting historical shiznit.
